Welcome once more to our monthly roundup of offerings from the Statosphere, the community-generated content portal for the Unknown Armies RPG. This month, we're taking a look at a trio of new systems of magick.

The BAMFSIES are an annual RPG award focused on Superhero genre RPGS. Sponsored by the BAMF podcast - the BAMFSIES are a cheeky and fun RPG awards focused solely on superhero RPGs. The BAMFSIES have been running since 2014.

Onyx Path have announced they are developing a tabletop RPG called Dystopia Rising: Evolution based on Eschaton Mediaís popular post-zombie apocalypse themed Dystopia Rising live-action scenarios. Eddy Webb has been hired as developer for the tabletop RPG which will be using Onyx Pathís Storypath System, which they have developed for the new Scion and Trinity Universe games. Dystopia Rising: Evolution is scheduled for a 2019 release.

Dungeons & Dragons' wargame roots are well-known, but what is sometimes forgotten is how much its origins influenced role-playing games. Although D&D has been a platform to tell many different kinds of stories, its mechanics focus on a few core themes and one of them is combat -- but it's not the only one.

Goodman Games announced some months ago that it would be producing 5th Edition updates of classic D&D adventures, and the first is now ready for pre-order: Into the Borderlands, a 384-page hardcover reprinting two classic adventures and also updating them to D&D 5E. The book slated for a May release.

We're always trying to improve EN5ider, the 5th Edition patreon, and as part of that we are increasing our playtester pool. To do that, we have created the EN5ider Playtester Club, which is every patron of EN5ider who supports us at $5 or more. We can't think of anybody better to playtest the material than our patrons, and we're launching with the full Gunfighter class!

EN World Reviews

Dry erase boards. Flip mats. Graph paper. Lego. Theater of the Mind. All of these are valid, tried-and-true methods of tracking movement/combat in Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. While I've employed all of these in the past, nothing has worked better for my games than the dungeon tile.

Here at EN World, I'mlookingatall-agestabletoprole-playinggames, board games, andcard games. Do they engage the players at the kids' gaming table? Would they cut it at the adults' table? Are they genuinely fun for every age? Amazing Tales is "a game for children who love adventures". Martin Lloyd's RPG is designed for a GM and one or two young players, and includes the rules, GM tips for young gamers, four settings with adventure hooks, and more.

The campaign that our group will be starting next week (and that I wrote a little bit about here last week) got me to thinking about martial arts role-playing games in general. I am probably by no means an aficionado of martial arts movies, or media, but I have enjoyed some Chinese martial arts films over the years (my first college roommate was/is a martial artist and fan of the movies). Plus, I am more of a fan of contemporary settings, and unfortunately the number of games that combine these two things are few. However, today I am going to talk about the Tianxia: Blood, Silk and Jade role-playing game from Jack Norris and Vigilance Press.

In Mythras, player characters are tied to family, village, and cults and their quests change the world around them and influence the direction of societyís growth. Mythras is mythic in scope and the PCs create legends with their adventures. This review covers a newcomerís overall impression of Mythras.

Welcome to the Cypher System Creator Roundup! Unlocked during Monte Cook GamesíWorlds of the Cypher SystemKickstarter campaign, the Cypher System Creator program is an option to distribute and/or sell official Cypher System crowd-sourced content. Setup within DriveThruRPG and RPGNow, the model is similar to the Storytellerís Vault (World of Darkness), and the Explorerís Society (7th Sea) in that individual creators can share their Cypher System content as long as it conforms to the content guidelines for the program, which can be found here.
